Hello Friends and Supporters,
International Women’s Day was March 8th. The City of Richmond’s 17th Annual Sisters in Solidarity International Women’s Day celebration will be held on Saturday, March 16th from 10 am to 2 pm at the Lavonya Dejean Middle School.
This year we will pay tribute to the late, former Mayor Irma L. Anderson who was a trailblazer in the City of Richmond, Contra Costa County and state-wide. Throughout her life, she touched so many people through her service and she encouraged others to serve. She has mentored and guided countless people, specifically, women who strived to have careers in the public sector. This year, the Sisters in Solidarity will award its inaugural award of the Irma L. Anderson Legacy Award for Service.
We hope that you and your family will be able to join us to celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month. As usual, we will host an afternoon of networking, resource sharing, fun engaging activities, and a panel discussion on our theme:
Count Her In: Invest in Women and Accelerate Progress

We look forward to seeing you and fellowshipping with you during this free family-friendly community event. Please share this information with your networks and on your social media platforms. Lunch will be provided. Registration is not required but is preferred via Eventbrite to help us prepare for the event.
